DIRECT REPURCHASE
It is the buying of share in a publicly-traded company by the company itself. It reduces the number of shares outstanding, thereby inflating (positive) earnings per share and, often, the value of the stock. The stock purchased by the company can then be retired or kept as treasury stock, which can be re-issued at a later date.
